Each of DOOM’s characters have their own personas and he explores the meaning behind these various personas in an interview at the Red Bull Music Academy: Luckily, Genius has a tag that houses all of DOOM’s aliases, monikers, and collaborations here. I love it when I’m working with other artists and see how they get down and exchanging ideas, it’s fun.ĭuring his rap career, DOOM used a plethora of aliases and monikers, including: Metal Face DOOM, Metal Fingers, Madvillain, DANGERDOOM (with Danger Mouse), DOOMSTARKS (with Ghostface Killah), JJ DOOM (with Jneiro Jarel), and NehruvianDOOM (with Bishop Nehru). DOOM told an interviewer why he likes collaborations: With a 93/100 score on Metacritic and praise from hip-hop legends, Madvillainy is known as one of the best rap albums of all time. It spawned multiple classic songs, such as “Gazzillion Ear,” “Ballskin, ” and the lyrically-inclined “That’s That.” DOOM then received critical acclaim for his 2004 collaboration with producer Madlib, titled Madvillainy. His next solo album, Born Like This, mostly fell under the radar, but is still beloved by fans. In 2004, under the name MF DOOM, he released MM. After that, he released Vaudeville Villain and Venomous Villain under the moniker Viktor Vaughn. The album had three singles: “Dead Bent,” “Operation: Greenbacks,” and “The M.I.C.” For his next album, Take Me To Your Leader, DOOM introduced a new moniker, King Geedorah. In 1999, DOOM released his debut solo album, Operation: Doomsday. I been Doom ever since I was born, my momma call me Doom so… Yeah and for the record I didn’t get the idea from …. Although, he told an interviewer that the name was actually a nickname from his mother: Dumile then adopted the MF DOOM identity, based on Marvel supervillian Doctor Doom. In 1998, DOOM told Ego Trip, “it’s music we’re selling, not my face.” You can see how DOOM’s mask changed through the years here. This disguise was based on a prop mask from the May 2000 film, Gladiator. He soon began rapping underground with his now iconic mask. After his brother’s death, Dumile quit rapping and lived on benches for three years.
In 1993, before the release of their second album, Black Bastards, Subroc was struck and killed by a car. KMD was eventually signed to Elektra Records after some minor hype, and they released one album titled Mr. At the time, his stage name was Zev Love X. In 1988, he formed the group K.M.D.-which stands for “Kausing Much Damage”-with his brother, DJ Subroc. MF DOOM, (who also rapped under further alter egos Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah and in the collaborative project Madvillain) was an English-born American hip-hop artist, best known for his “super villain” stage persona and unique lyricism.
